This was a Demo type vendor Open House, so no other paper crafters were there.....I was a co-host so did not put out too much stuff (kind of a dry run for me). My friend/co-host is a Longaberger consultant, so she let me borrow a bunch of her baskets for display. I only had an 8' table due to lack of space. BUT - finally added it up this morning and did a little over $200.00 in sales! I knew that I was busy, but didn't realize that I had done so well - much better than expected!!! Unfortunately...I have nothing to show for it after buying a bee-u-ti-ful Coach purse and many other things! My hubby need not know about that!

Now, I need to get busy on the rest of my Christmas stuff since I have 4 more shows coming up! I did have quite a few people ask for special orders for classroom treats and teacher gifts, so will see if they actually work out. Guess I will clean my house in January - right?

If you have any questions on any of the pix - let me know!One suggestion that I have for everyone that might be in multiple shows - Get a flyer or postcard that lists all of the shows that you are in and pass them out to everyone! I even included a little coupon on the bottom of mine that they can use on their next purchase. I let you know how many of them come back to me...if you want to see my postcard, just email me: kaitysmom@fuse.net

Hi there!Wanted to get another quick post up before I have to go get my mammogram! Making these Tic Tac's for the ladies in the doctor's office....they are wonderful even if they do like to "SQUISH" me. My mom is a breast cancer survivor - GO MOM! - it has been 7 years since her last treatment! So, I make a point of getting in for my test yearly.....

SAVE THE TA-TAS!

These are the BIG tic tacs...found them at Target. The cover is 4.5 x 3 and you score at 1 7/8 on each end. Just cut a punch in the front (1 1/4) and decorate! I made all of the wording on my puter. Any other questions, let me know!
